Horseradish Sunflower Spread or Dip

This is a very tasty spread for whole grain breads and rolls, or it can also be nice as a dip for fresh crunchy vegetables. It has a slight “peppy bite” flavor from the horseradish, but it’s not so strong as to be bitter. We’ve enjoyed it so much, I now double the recipe.

30 g. (3 Tbs.) sunflower seeds

45 ml. (3 Tbs.) lemon sunflower oil or other vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon generous horseradish

1/2 teaspoon salt

pepper
